    🍌🥑 Ingredients

    Here’s what you’ll need to make these Banana Avocado Muffins:

    • Ripe bananas

    👩🏼‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

    • Prep the avocado and banana: Start by removing the avocado pit and the flesh into a blender. Add in the bananas and blend on high for about 1 minute, or until smooth.
    • Add the wet ingredients: Crack in the eggs, pour in the vanilla, and drizzle the honey (or maple syrup) into the blender. Blend everything again until it’s well mixed.
    • Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder. This helps make sure the muffins rise properly and have the right texture.
    • Mix wet and dry: Pour the blended avocado-banana mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until just combined—don’t overmix.
    • Fold in chocolate chips: Add the chocolate chips and gently fold them into the batter. This gives a little sweetness in every bite!
    • Bake: Spoon the batter into muffin pans lined with paper or greased lightly. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
    • Cool and serve: Let them cool slightly before removing from the pan. Serve warm or store for later!

    🙋🏻‍♀️ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    Can I freeze these muffins?

    Yes! Just let them cool completely, then store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Great for lunchboxes or busy mornings.

    Can I make these gluten-free?

    You can try using a gluten-free flour blend instead of regular flour. Just make sure it includes xanthan gum or a binding agent.

    What can I use instead of honey?

    Maple syrup works well as a natural sweetener. You can also try agave syrup if that’s what you have on hand.

    Will my kids taste the avocado?

    Not at all! The banana and chocolate chips cover up the flavor. All they’ll notice is how soft and yummy the muffins are.

    How do I store my muffins?

    Let them cool completely. Then place them in an airtight container with a paper towel. The paper towel will absorb some of the moisture. Store at room temperature for up to 4 days.
